Regional Differences

The later Japanese version has various differences. Most notably aesthetic updates to Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and Mothra, mostly edited to tie in with then-recent films in the franchise. In addition to a completely different title logo, its background reflects the updated Mechagodzilla and Mothra.
